The present invention relates to nitrogen-containing saturated heterocyclic compounds which are useful as a medicine, especially as a renin inhibitor, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and intermediates thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Renin inhibitors are expected as a medicine for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, diabetic nephropathy and the like, and 3,4-substituted piperidine derivatives are disclosed for example (Patent Literature 1). But a morpholine derivative is not described in the literature.

Also WO 2008/153182 discloses some morpholine derivatives but they are compounds having a formula I wherein R is a hydrogen atom (Patent Literature 2).

Reaction in the Method for Preparating the Compound [II]

The compound [II] can be prepared by a condensation reaction of a carboxylic acid compound [III] and an amine compound [IV] in a suitable solvent or without a solvent.

The condensation reaction can be carried out by a conventional condensation reaction in the presence of a condensing agent, or reacting an activated derivative of the compound [III] (e.g., an acid halide, a mixed acid anhydride, an activated ester and the like) with the compound [IV], after the compound [III] is converted to the reactive derivative thereof.

Test Example Inhibitory Activity Against Human Renin

A substrate of synthetic peptide (Nma-KHPFH LVIHK(Dnp)-NH₂) and test compound were mixed, and fluorescence intensity was assayed using a fluorophotometer before starting an enzymatic reaction (exciting wavelength: 340 nm, measuring wavelength: 460 nm). Recombinant human renin was added and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour, and the fluorescence intensity was measured after the reaction using a fluorophotometer (exciting wavelength: 340 nm, measuring wavelength: 460 nm). Renin activity was evaluated on the ground of fluorescence intensity which was obtained by deduction of the intensity before the reaction from the intensity after the reaction, and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated from renin activities under the existence of various concentration of the test compound. Example compounds herein showed the following values.
